Lolo Jones

Lolo Jones is a decorated track and field star. She was favored to take home the gold for the 100-meter hurdles in 2008 but lost when she stumbled. In 2012, she placed fourth.

She appeared on Celebrity Big Brother, Dancing With the Stars, and The Challenge. She faced backlash after The Challenge when she rage-quit the show because she didn't like her teammate but said that the producers "forced" her to quit.
